The actual code I have is in PHP, so it's not exactly useful to post here,
but I can give you an outline of a class I used and found useful. The
class was created to help me manipulate network subnets in an interface to
handle DHCP and DNS on a server.
class subnet:
def __init__(cidr):
# Do some stuff with the CIDR notation of the subnet (1.2.3.0/24syntax)
def netmask:
# Calculate the netmask and return it (ie, 255.255.255.0)
def first_ip:
# Calculate and return the first IP in the range.
def last_ip:
# Calculate and return the last IP in the range
def number_of_addresses:
# Calculate the number of usable addresses in the range and return
that value
The benefit to me was that I could create an instance of the subnet object
for a group (say, "lab_1"), and then pull out various information. Calling
"lab_1.first_ip()" returns the first possible IP address. That was a lot
more readable and a lot more concise than something like "first_ip(
1.2.3.0/24)".
I hope this helps!
Andy
